I have gotten word that Bob Weir and Ratdog will be unable to appear on the KPFA marathon due to an injury suffered by keyboardist Jeff Chimenti. I’ll leave it to the Ratdog organization to reveal the details of Jeff’s situation.
We still have the Papermill Creek Rounders (David Nelson, Banana, and their friends) playing live during the broadcast, and we’ll have some Ratdog recordings from their fall tour.
More details on the January 28 broadcast can be found below.
Any chance of Bobby and Mark showing up to sing and strum acoustically?
No. They want to wait until the whole band can do a performance, and we’re going to do that on February 22 or March 1 if all goes well, or wait until later in the Spring if necessary.
I would love to hear some Ratdog from 11/14/03. For me, that was the best Ratdog show I have attended.
